Abstract: Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a vehicle to determine location relative to a roadside unit (RSU) or other nearby point of reference. Vehicles within a pre-designated range or within broadcast distance or otherwise geographically proximate to a roadside unit, through the use of broadcast or other messages sent by the vehicles and/or the RSU may share carrier GNSS phase measurement data, wherein the shared GNSS carrier phase measurement data may be utilized to control and coordinate vehicle movements, velocity and/or position by the RSU and/or to determine location of each vehicle relative to the RSU and/or to other vehicles or determine the absolute location of each vehicle. An RSU may coordinate vehicle access to an intersection, manage vehicle speeds and coordinate or control vehicle actions such as slowing, stopping, and changing lanes or sending a vehicle to a particular location.

Abstract: An Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and/or Differential GNSS (DGNSS) system is disclosed in which correction data from a plurality of reference stations is provided to the mobile device. A selection of reference stations (from which correction data is provided to the mobile device) can be made based on factors such as the approximate location of the mobile device, geometry of the reference stations, and/or other factors. The mobile device can combine the correction data from the plurality of reference stations in different ways to determine an accurate position fix for the mobile device, without interpolating correction data from the plurality of reference stations.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may improve the performance and accuracy of RF-based positioning. Aspects presented herein may enable a device to use RF Doppler measurements to detect and mitigate multipath effects in RF-based positioning. The RF-based positioning may include satellite navigation, terrestrial positioning system, and/or indoor positioning. In one aspect, a UE receives, via a receiver, signals from one or more entities. The UE determines whether each received signal is a multipath signal based on a Doppler shift measurement. The UE de-weights or excludes one or more signals of the received signals in estimating a position of the UE based on whether the respective received signal is determined to be a multipath signal.

Abstract: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers can provide more accurate positioning when augmented using Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) or Differential GNSS (DGNSS) corrections. Techniques described herein leverage multi-constellation, multi-frequency (MCMF) measurements taken at a base station at first and second times to generate correction information that can be used to detect and correct a bias (or offset) in the location of the base station. This bias may be detected by a rover station, or by the base station itself.

Abstract: A Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) solution is provided to mobile devices having multi-constellation, multi-frequency (MCMF) functionality, in which a single base station may have a baseline much farther than traditional base station. To enable this, embodiments account for differences in atmospheric effects between the rover station and base station when determining a GNSS position fix for a mobile device (rover station), allowing for a separate tropospheric delay error for a base station to be determined. Embodiments may use additional satellite measurements for which no RTK correction is available, and may further use orbital clock correction for these additional satellite measurements.

Abstract: Techniques for enhanced Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) position determination can include capturing an image, from a camera, of obstructions near a mobile device. Orientation information regarding the camera can is used to determine where, in the image, the horizon is situated, and which portions of the sky are blocked by the obstructions from the perspective of the mobile device. Information regarding the location of satellites in the sky is obtained, based on an estimated position of the mobile device. Obstructed satellites can then be identified by comparing the location of the satellites with the obstructed portions of the sky. In a GNSS position determination, information received from the obstructed satellites can then be disregarded or de-weighted accordingly. In some embodiments, the information regarding the blocked portions of the sky can be sent to a server and/or shared with other nearby mobile devices.
